THE SHRINKING GOP BASE.

It is possible that Cyclopitchorn is egregiously mistaken.

Generic Congressional Ballot
Generic Ballot: Republicans 40% Democrats 39%
Tuesday, May 05, 2009 Email to a FriendAdvertisement
For the second straight week, Republicans edge out Democrats in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot. However, support for the Republican candidate is down a point from last week and the results appear to reflect a lack of enthusiasm for either party rather than gains for the GOP.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 40% would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 39% would choose the Democrat.

Overall, the GOP lost one point this week, while the Democrats gained a point. This is now the third time in more than five years of Rasmussen polling the GOP has held a lead in the ballot.

Last week, Democrats fell to their lowest level of support in the past year while Republicans reached their high water mark.

Over the past year, Democratic support has ranged from a low of 38% to a high of 50%. In that same time period, Republicans have been preferred by 34% to 41% of voters nationwide.

During calendar 2009, Democratic support has ranged from 38% to 42% and the Republican range has been from 35% to 41%.

Democrats began the year holding a six- or seven-point lead over the GOP for the first several weeks of 2009. That began to slip in early February and the Republicans actually took a two-point lead for a single week in the middle of March. Since then, the results have ranged from dead even to a four point lead for the Democrats until the GOP regained lead in the last two polls.

Men now favor the GOP by a 47% to 33% margin. Women prefer the Democrats by a 45% to 34% margin.

It is worse that you think. If you do some research, you will find that the number of functional illiterates in the USA is around 16%. I understand that this entire group was identified by the notorious ACORN organization( they are now being investigated for massive vote fraud) and led to the polls(some were bussed) to vote for BO.

If you are correct that the average IQ will border on semi-retardism, we are all doomed. But there is a possibility that we can be saved. If leaders would call for a renaissance in the field of Eugenics, we might be able to sterilize enough of the mentally dull. The problem, of course, is that the liberals would cry "racism". That would put an end to any real solution of the problem.

The Lippincott 7th Grade Reding Textbook fro the mid-50's?

Surely, you jest.

There are no (NONE) Public Schools in the USA that would be able to use that fine Reading Series.

l. A full 70% of students in Public Schools would be unable to read and understand most of the material in the book.

2. Most of the book is given to written material as opposed to gaudy pictures.
There are no pictures extolling the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Sojourner Truth and Malcome X.

3. The Series is filled with lies and misrepresentations. It dares to posit that some civilizations and cultures are objectively morally and technologically superior to others.

LostBlackBook--I suggest that you pick up one of the new text books. Read it carefully(don't skip the pictures)--Perhaps you will then glean the truth of liberalism.

oh great... when all else fails, blame clinton. and then they wonder why.

abandon hope all ye who enter here.

I believe a more in depth analysis would conclude that past the age of 60 both parties tend to have a more loyal base. And, since women outlive men, it tells me that women become less independent voters as they age, and become more loyal to one party.

Below the age of 60 an election can swing to either party, based on the independent voters. However, if the demographics truly reflect a continuing winning Democratic majority, there is a synonym for a nation with one-party. I also would then wonder, if the Republicans continue to field candidates, possibly knowing it is a lost cause, would one reason be to maintain the illusion of a two-party system, rather than allow for a multi-party system and the real representation that a coalition government affords voters? Heaven forbid if we should let everyone have representation for their respective goals, a la the Knesset.

Is it not true that the Republicans surprised a president who had been in office for only two years by taking over the House and Senate? Is it not true that the American public was distressed by Hillary's attempts to massively change the US health system in 1993. Is it not true that many Democrats( like Senator Bayh are resisting BO's Socialist schemes?

Foofie-You should read the Political History of the USA in 1993 and 1994. That is a clear example of a reversal of fortunes due to a president who did not know what he was doing. BO does know what he is doing, but despite the fact that he was elected by largely ignorant minorities( many of whom do not know that such a thing as the US Supreme Court exists), he too will be in trouble if the Unemployment Rate is still high in mid 2010 and if the American Public( the independents who know how to read) sees his Health Plan as inexorably leading to the kind of Socialized Health clap trap used in England and Canada.

Perhaps by 2010, ACORN will be slowed downby the courts and they will be unable to steal millions of votes as they did in 2008 to help elect BO.

sounds like a disgruntled loser trying to soothe his ego. What a pile of disengenuous crap Genovese.
You should write TV scripts.

You imply that O's election is due to the ignorance of his supporters. However, should you check, the educational attainment in the blue states is much higher than that in the red states. Further, academia and the fourth estate, people who know history and economics, overwhelmingly are Dems.

but that would take time from his busy schedules writing words of wisdom on the toilet stall walls of our fine nation. we, the ignorant dregs would wander aimlessly in the desert were it not for the omniscient teachings of saint genoves.

Now that the Possum is here, this thread is f*cked . . .

I prefer the word "gullibility," rather than ignorance. Gullibility and educational achievement can be mutually exclusive; there is no correlation.

unlike those who voted for dubya to have a beer with? even though as a known alcoholic, he could not ever have "a" beer with you?

conservative logic opens new vistas in creative philosophical invention.

At least I do not have carnal intercourse with my dog--as you do!

Really? You apparently don't keep up with the news, Farmerman. You are aware, Ihope, that BO's favorite organization is being indicted in several states for vote fraud.

Your charge of "disengenuous crap" hangs in the air without any supporting evidence.

I can give you evidence about the ghetto punks involved with ACORN.

proof please.

Advocate is invited to read the following since he is dead wrong in his conclusions:

statisticalopinion]


Whites voted for McCain 55-43% - Obama got the most white vote of any Democrat recent history, very similar to Clinton's percentage.

Blacks 95%-4% Around the same for the past 4 elections, blacks ALWAYS vote this way for democrats. Get off your high racist horse pal, only 2% more blacks voted this election than last...11% last election to 13% this election, yeah they totally caused the win.

Hispanics voted 66%-31% for Obama, the best EVER result for a DEMOCRAT, not sure why the moron who originally posted this said take a wild guess being as hispanics are less likely to vote democrat.

Women - 56% of the female vote went to Obama, exceeding the usual Democrat advantage. Although he lost the white women vote by over 7 points.

Men - 41% of white males voted for Obama, making him the first Democrat since Jimmy Carter to take more than 38% in this category.

First Timers - Overall, this also helped Obama secure a high number of first time voters; 71% of whom voted Democrat. McCain only managed to secure 29% of first-time voters, compared to 53% for John Kerry in 2004.

Catholic - Nearly 25 per cent of U.S. adults - about 30 million - are Catholic and 54 per cent of them voted for pro-abortion Obama as opposed to 46 per cent for McCain.

Asians - 63% of Asian voters went to the ballot for Obama and 34% for McCain.

Jewish - 78% of the Jewish vote went to Obama. Jewish support - which made up 2% of the overall electorate - has, in recent years, been overwhelmingly Democrat; with Al Gore receiving 79% in 2000 and John Kerry 74% in 2004.

High Earners - 53% of voters who earned $200,000 or more in 2007 voted for Obama. McCain - who was expected to triumph amongst the wealthy, succeeded in polling only 45% of these voters.

Crazy People(Evangelicals) - 73% of white evangelicals backed McCain and 25% backed Obama. This was a boost of 4 points for the Democrats from 2004, who traditionally struggle in rural areas, where many of this category live.

Clinton Supporters - 84% of Democrats who intially voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries voted for Obamas.

end of quote.

It is clear that Blacks and Latinos were the key in BO's election. MOST whites voted for McCain.

Since you appear to be highly misinformed about many things, I am sure that you do not know that the the IQ of the average black person in the US is AT THE VERY LEAST, 10 points below the average white IQ. If you don't know that, you don't know very much about ethnic groups in the USA.

At least 16 Million Blacks( we won't even reference the Latino vote) voted for BO.

Now BO will repay his constituency by radically redistributing wealth and thereby ruining the US economy!

You have not shown anythings that disproves my conclusions.

Btw, we do need a redistribution of wealth. The top five percent in income make more than the bottom 150 million people.

According to your stats, are you saying that only a qwhite male is a valid vote (or one who should be given more weight?) Your post harkens back to a time when we would calculate a minority to be 3/5 of a white man.

Other than that your stats mean nothing, they show the diversity that the Dems have managed to concentrate upon.
